Friend got one, I drove a 3.8 R coming from a brz and it felt too soft in both the steering and ride for me. It's got more of a GT car feel than a sports car imo. Other bud drove it coming from a 370z agreed with me.

Wouldn't buy.

>>17400851
I mean, you dont want your car to feel like a race car. Sometimes you want a comfortable GT car if you have to drive far or something.

I think the G37s is the best of both worlds desu

Not OP here but i'm pretty interesting in a gen 1 CTSV. How do the two different engines compare? 2004/2006? How does it feel into corners?

>>17400580

People like you make no sense. Quarter mile and 0-60 times do matter when buying a new car. Its how people gauge a cars quickness. Obviously you could still enjoy a car thats half a second slower, but you can notice the difference. Also 0-60 and 1/4 mile times tell you who and who not to race. With your logic, why buy a civic type R when the Si is only 1 second slower and 20k cheaper?

Oh yeah. The f30 328i is at the top of list rn.

When did base model 3 serie bimmers get so fast?

There's almost no better way to say "I know absolutely nothing about cars but I want everyone to think I'm 'the car guy'".

About the only thing worse than owning one of these cars is browsing /o/ to ask its opinion on these cars.

At least a Genesis has some originality to it, and they're not plastered everywhere. Too bad about the Korean build quality though. And that god awful interior.

That sounds horrid. And that's not fast, it just seems fast because you're 20 and drive a Civic.

I've been able to get over .9 lateral G's in the corners (meter in the pic)

The 2004/05 have the LS6. The 2006/07 have the LS2 which has a better flatter torque curve and the rear differential is tougher, so a 2006 or 2007 would be best. It has major issues with wheel hop. I put poly bushings in the rear suspension and it's helped a lot. It's got a firm ride, not too terrible, some vibrations inside. Only option is a sunroof, it's fully loaded otherwise. I was more hoping for a GTO but couldn't find a manual at the time. It's been a great daily and it's fairly unique. Not many know what it is so it's a car that doesn't get much attention.

Not the best. This Cadillac was the cheapest model at the time I believe. But it has everything.

Thanks, I was all "The ad means it has a turbo 400 transmission and brake line locks right?" and I was just about to google, maybe anon knew something I didn't but as usual he was just being a faggot.

I own a 2008 BMW 335i 146k Miles and hasnt given me problems other than adaptive headlight warning that comes on every so often. I bought this car for 8k 1 year ago.

I also own a 2005 Pontiac GTO 182K Miles. Ive only had to replace the driveshaft, half shafts, radiator, and water pump. This car was bought back in 2009 for 13k.

Both of these cars will run under 14 secs, and both have been a daily driver at one point in my life.

I was also recently looking at my friends genesis coupe 3.8. We swapped cars for a week and honestly the genesis didnt feel very lively at all.

Think I found the one, it doesn't have the N54 but the N55 which was much more reliable and it can still take tunes over 400whp.

Explain your reasoning.

Why can a car guy not own some of the best touring cars those manufacturers ever produced?

I understand the 328i as it is slow and soft. I also understand the G35 as it has mechanical issues,but the other two are hella comfortable cars with good power.

VQ37VHR drivetrain is pretty reliable. Only complaints seem to be the slave cylinder on the 6MT and slightly retarded 7AT before 2010 iirc. Few guys around the forums running around with over 300k mi.

I have an option of either getting a 2011 G37 Journey (non S) Coupe w/ 78k miles or a 2011 BMW 335i Sedan w/ 71k miles for $13,000

I like the 335i more since it is a little faster and you can JB4 and DP it and get like 360whp. But the G37 has that N/A Sound and reliability. It also looks better inside.

Which one would be better you'd think?

>>17401315
You are retarded.
BMWs are durable as fuck, the ZF auto transmissions hold tons of power and the 3.0 liter i6 is one of the best non performance oriented blocks ever.

>>17405572
I'd go 335i unless you can find a G37S coupe.

S nets you larger brakes, LSD, more aggressive final drive, better seats, and some accessories like illuminated kick plates and memory seats.
